The event, which takes place July 8 at The Hangar in Costa Mesa, Calif., features a five-bout main card that airs on Showtime, but MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has learned the promotion will host eight total fights.

Additionally, fans are invited to Thursday’s official weigh-ins and M-1 Ring Girl Contest, which both take place at Hooters in Costa Mesa.

Hooters is located at 1507 S. Coast Dr. Fighters are scheduled to hit the scale at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT local time). The ring girl contest follows the official ceremony.

“The rematch between Bennett and Garner has been in the works since last year,” M-1 Global co-founder Vadim Finkelchtein stated. “It’s a fight Pat has asked for specifically and both men are prepared to put on a show. This entire card is expected to be extremely entertaining from start to finish.”

While M-1 Global is best known as the management group of Fedor Emelianenko, the organization has hosted events around the globe since 1997.
